Overview

Technology, Mind, & Society is an annual conference that discusses how the intertwining fields of psychology and technology work to advance each other. The theme, Rethink, is a deliberately open-ended invitation that encourages attendees to analyze the world from new perspectives. 

The design challenge was to craft a brand that blends the two worlds of technology and humanity in a believable and unconventional way. Monospace fonts and bright accent colors speak to the future, while the serif font and cool blues keep the brand grounded for the conference’s 28–42 year old demographic.

process
Creating personas.

During the research phase it was determined that the conference had two main target audiences: professionals in the world of psychology, and students of psychology. From this research, two distinct user personas were created to ensure the conference and brand were adequately catering to the needs of the audience.

User persona for a student of psychology
Identity
Blending two worlds.

The conference logo was created to accurately portray both the theme and subject matter of the conference. Careful attention was paid to matching the x-heights and weights to increase unity.
